That's an excellent and very important question! Planning an outdoor space project requires careful timing, and getting your benches by a specific date is crucial. The lead time for outdoor benches isn't a one-size-fits-all answer; it depends heavily on several key factors.
First, is the bench a standard, in-stock model or a custom design? Standard benches, which we often have in our inventory, can typically be shipped within a few days to a week. However, for custom benches—which involve unique dimensions, specific materials like tropical hardwood or powder-coat colors, and special designs—the lead time is longer. The custom manufacturing process includes design finalization, material sourcing, production, quality control, and finishing.
A typical lead time for custom orders can range from 4 to 8 weeks. For large bulk orders, this timeline may extend further. The best way to get a precise lead time is to contact us as early as possible with your specific date and project details. We can then provide a realistic timeline and, if you have a tight deadline, discuss potential expedited manufacturing options to ensure your beautiful new outdoor benches arrive exactly when you need them.
